Hi everyone! New to this forum. We have been a tent camping family of 4 for the past 15 years. Well after camping in this awful heat wave the wife says she is done with tents. She says its hotel rooms or a TT from now on. We have been looking at TT's the past couple of weeks and think the 31 BHPR is the perfect fit for us. (our tow vehicle, included features and so on). After reading through this entire thread we have a couple of questions for those of you who own one:
1) There seem to be some common issues with this trailer (leaking shower base, bent rear axle and bad leveling jacks, non attached hoses from the factory to name a few). Is this common in all makes of TT's? Do they all have some issues?
2) Do any of you regret buying this trailer and if so why?
3) What size is the bed in this camper? 60x80 or 60x74? I am 6'3 so it is an issue for me.
4) Being new to trailer camping some basic questions: How long will it take a family of 4 to fill the gray and black water tanks? How hard is it to empty the tanks? Where does your power come from when camping out of a camp ground if you have no generator?
5) How would you rate the build quality of this camper if you have owned other makes?
We thank you all for your input! This is going to be a major step up for us. I am perfectly comfortable in a tent but even I was miserable after this last trip. There is no fun in being miserable on vacation. We are outdoor people and I would prefer not to do the hotel room thing. We also love to travel so buying a "beach house" is not the answer. A TT is the route for us. We just need to decide which one is right for us.
Thanks!
The Lewis family.
